hey y'all

hoping someone can point me in the right direction, i saw some dude last week in heathrow who had a leather down jacket, similar to the one's in uniqlo and seenmy's supreme one.. the down was very 'puffy' and it had a high hood on the back.

any idea's who does one.. i remember schott did a leather one a few years ago. but it didnt have a hood.

nah, but like the uniqlo ones in terms of angled goose down but in leather.

tried double goose, they dont do one with a full hood.

my first puffa jacket was by schott brothers nyc. It was from duffer st george..(before you were born) I wore it in a pub and someone burned a hole it with a cigarette. there were feathers flying everywhere. Like a blizzard. Took me an hour or so to make the connection. By then, I was somewhat deflated.

it could well be from ymc they have made some absolutly beautiful leather down jackets over theyears!they have a amazing down vest in minky at the min even at half price its still over 250 i think!so so nice.
im pretty sure double goose have or are doing v down jackets although my memory is a little hazzy as to what i was told regarding them,i have funny feeling they idnt make it from sample for some reason.

nah it werent leather, sorry.. i havent eaten yet today and cant think or write when i'm hungry.

it was a life reserve much like young marty mcfly wore, but really nice puffyness to it with small fine polka dots on the outside and stripes on the inside.
